We’re so grateful to have Elizabeth sit for Rusty when the other sitter canceled our booking in the last minute! Elizabeth provided outstanding care for Rusty and ensured that Rusty’s needs be met while spoiling him as well. She also sent a bunch of pictures and videos of Rusty that we enjoyed so much! Her acreage yard allowed Rusty to run around and exercise as he loves to be outside! Thank you so much for your care! Highly recommended and will definitely use the service again in the future!

Lizzy took the best care of our French bulldog. She is truly passionate about caring for dogs. She sent photos daily. It was comforting to know our dog was being taken care of while we were away. We’ll definitely utilize her skills again.
